In two months more the easy work of helping old Black friars-bridge down will bo begun. It has done its best to save contractors unnecessary work in rendering this last office. It is like a ship ready to be launched ; they have but to knock away the centring from the two broken backed arches which now obstruct the river, and the whole structure will go pell-well into the Thames• It is just in that critical condition that it can change no further with out coming down with a crash. It has reached its lasr point of subsidence, and, to do it justice, it has for some time past seemed disinclined to tempt its fate further. It might stand in its present condition for the next ten years, or it might tumble down like a house of cards in a few hours. The intricate, yet beautifully arranged web of scaf folding raised for the erection of the temporary and the railway bridges has much decreased the scour of the river through the arches ; it so far has checked any tendency to further settlement, and, perhaps, the old bridge has more chance of standing now than it has had for the last 25 years. But it is not a safe rule to calculate too closely in these matters, so Mr. Cubitt has hurried his plans forward for completing the temporary bridge at once, that the old high-shouldered structure may be closed in April and re placed with a far wider, stronger, and infinitely handsomer structure as soon as possible.

SAXUEL INGALL, Actuary, The great engineering works now in progress at Black friars always command a somewhat large and apparently deeply interested body of spectators, who from the old bridge survey what is going on beneath them hour by hour as long as daylight lasts. To the ordinary spectator it is a curious and rather bewildering scene, a web of piles and ties, a singular two-storied mixture of iron and wood, with glimpses through the network of deep round iron cylinders, like those used for soap boiling, pushed far down in the bed of the river, being filled up with masonry. In the nooks and corners of the great framing lurk steam pile drivers fussily busy, driving great balks of timber down into the London clay, while overhead the travellers are crawling slowly to and fro with blocks of granite, masses of iron, beams, girders, or whatever else they may have seized upon, and crept off with till they are claimed with a bail from below, and lowered to their proper places in the structure. This is what can be seen from the old bridge, but the as pect is very different from the works themselves. There nothing is in the way or out of the way. The tangle of scaffolding reveals itself under proper inspection, and we see at once that, as in a spider's web, there is not a fasten ing without a purpose—nowhere is there one more or less than is required, and everything, from the largest iron girders to the smallest fastening, has its own special work to do, and will do it when the time comes. Looking towards the east from the old bridge two bridges are now being built, and both by the same engineer, Mr. Cubitt—one the great four-line bridge for the London, Chatham, and Dover, of which very little can now be seen ; the other lofty tier of scaffolding is the temporary structure which is happily to replace Blackfriars in a couple of months or so. This, as the first temporary bridge we have yet seen over the Thames in London, and for its own intrinsic merits, as a very simple, yet immensely strong contrivance in scaffolding, merits some notice. Its length is 990 ft from wharf to wharf, and it is built in two stories; the lower one is 26ft wide (the width of the old bridge roadway) ; the upper storey is raised 16ft above this, and consists of two footways, each Oft wide, the width of the footways in the present bridge being only 7ft. The lower storey is for the carriage traffic, the upper for pedestrians, and the four feet extra width of footway given to the latter is to accommo date the loungers on either side who are sure to pass much of their time in looking over at the progress of the works beneath. This scaffolding, though called a temporary bridge, is in reality a permanent structure as far as strength is concerned. It is only temporary in the sense that it is not built of durable materials, such as stone or iron. The lower piles are driven 10ft into the bed of the river ; the staying piles which carry the roadway are only 18ft from centre to centre longitudinally—those laid transversely are only 7lt apart. All these, too, are braced together with horizontal and diagonal bracings, and, in fact, even as far ae the woodwork is concerned the whole is built of consider ably greater strength than ordinary wooden viaducts for railways. This bridge has three openings for river traffic, each of 70ft span. These are formed by two girders, Ott deep, with ordinary transverse girders between, They are already nearly all floored with wrought iron buckle plates, and fur the future traffic arc to be covered with asphalt and paved with wood. The gradient of this temporary mad will be exactly that of the new bridge when fini-hed—that is, a rise of 1 in 40, instead of as at present 1 in 22—an in cline only less dreadful than that which stops the traffic up Holborn-hill. Tho approaches to the foot bridge, as being taken up to a high level above the roadway, will be much more steep—no less than 1 in 10 on either side. To wake these easily practicable to pedestrians it will be necessary that in wet and ft osty weather such timber slopes should be well sanded, or they will be almost insurmountable. This steep gradient is only continued to where the footpaths going and coining from each side meet the road traffic above, whence they aro continued across the river at al most a level. Yesterday this temporary bridge was tested by a mass of iron weighing 36 tons being drawn slowly across the greater part of the carriage-way, Under this severe test not the slightest yield or complaining among the tim bers could be detected, though the strain was certainly more than double what is ever likely to come upon a single part of the bridge at any one time. This was a test for strai❑ only ; the next will be for vibration, when a weight of six tons will be drawn rapidly over it, in order to counterfeit, as far as it is possible to do so, the rapid, reckless driving of one of Pickford's heavy vans. Under this last teat a good deal of vibration is sure to be found, but that in mere wooden structures, which, as it is said, "give and take so much," will be of little consequence so long as no lateral sway of the whole fabric takes place. In April it is hoped to be able to open this bridge, when the old one will be at once closed, and the work of removing it to make room for its grand successor be urged on with all rapidity. The new bridge, which is to occupy the site of the old one, v ill be as great an improvement upon that which now cumbers the river, as Westminster is upon the heavy, dan gerous, and steep pile of stones it at last superseded, with so much benefit to the public. The improvement that will result from the change, looking at it only as a question of accommodation for the public, may be seen at a glance by a mere comparison of dimensions. The width of the roadway of the old bridge is 26ft; the width of the new roadway will be 45ft, Old Blackfriars has two pathways of 7ft each ; new Blackfriars will have two of 15ft each. The gradient of old Blackfriars is 1 in 22ft—of the new, 1 in 401 t, or the same as new Westminster, which on the surface it will en tirely resemble, except in being 4ft less wide over all. It is to be built in five spans or arches, the two next the shore being of 155 ft span each, the two next those, again, 175 ft span, the centre arch having a stretch of ISsft. These arches will be all of wrought iron—the piers on which they rest of Aberdeen and red polished granite, with richly orna mental cornices and capitals of Portland stone. The total length of the proposed structure from end to end is 1,170 ft., its width extreme from point to point of piers, 130 ft; its height from high water, 36ift, and from foundation to parapet, 81ft. The waterway under the arches will be 845 ft, as compared with the present water way of 769 ft; its headway under the arches will be 25ft, and though 4ft lower in height than the present structure, it will double the accommodation to river traffic under it, T HE ENGLISH and FOREIGN LIBRARY COMPANY (Limited).

It Is proposed to establish a Public Circulating Library , on a more comprehensive plan, and with more complete ma chinery for the early and regular delivery of books than has hitherto been attempted. The English and Foreign Library Company guarantees the circulation of all new works of value or interest immediately after publication. Daily deli veries will take place at all houses of town subscribers, within a rad.us of five miles. 2. Books will be provided for all readers without distinc tion of sect or party. 3. A Special Scientific Department will be established, em bracing Science and the Liberal Professions ; Theology, Medicine, Surgery, Civil Engineering, Philology, and the Mathematical and Physical Sciences. 4. Foreign Literature will form a prominent feature. 5. All important Publications relating to Eastern and Co lonial subjects will be collected, including Public Documents, and Books published in India and the Colonies. 6. The Direction has been organised with a view to the combination of literary judgment and commercial experience. 7. Arrangements have been made to purchase Hookham's Library, 15, Old Bond-street, the oldest in existence, contain ing a hundred years' stock, as the basis for the formation of a Library of permanent value and vast extent. 8. Profits will be immediate on the opening of the Library, the current subscriptions to Hookham's Library yielding 12 per cent. cn the purchase money, atter payment of all ex penses. 9. Shareholders will be entitled to special privileges (as detailed in advertisement below). Prospectuses, with forms of application for shares, may be obtained of the Bankers, the Brokers. the Solicitors, and at the Offices of the Company, 15, Old Bond-street, W. owing to the elliptical shape and somewhat flat crowns of its arches. The style of the whole is to be what is called Venetian Gothic. The two outside ribs of the ironwork that will be seen from the river will have open lattice span- drils of wrought iron, ornamented at their junctions with bold gilt flowers. The ribs beneath this will be in five joints, of great depth and strength, and similarly orna mented, but on a larger scale. In the centre of each arch will be hanging shields, gilt and emblazoned. Over the latticework will be a moulding, carried on concave brackets, enriched with broad graceful leaves of foliage, while above all will come the balustrade of the footways. This latter will be exceedingly handsome. It will be formed of an open arcading of cast iron, each of the small columns which support it having highly enriched foliated capitals of the most varied designs, though all in strict keeping with the style and intended general effect. Above those columns, the cornice, so to speak, of the balustrade will be pierced in trefoils with a kind of moulded string course to resemble a sort of handrail above all. This balustrade will be 3;fr high, and all its beautiful proportions and detail of design have evidently been studied with the utmost care, and certainly with the utmost success. The spaces between the many separate ribs which go to form each arch will be built over with buckle-plates, and the usual bed of asphalt and stone pitching pavement laid above all. So much fur the ironwork. With the stone, as might be expected, higher efforts are made at ornamental details, and, in an architectural point of view, are made with even more success. Theme are to be four stone piers, each 130 ft long by 201 ft wide, and 35ft high from Trinity level. As tho design was especially framed to admit of construc tional colour, the masonry used hero will the blue gray granite of Aberdeen, red polished granite columns, with bases and capitals of richly-carved white Portland stone, To begin, however, with the construction of the piers. They will, like all bridge foundations of the present day, be built in wrought-iron caissons. Seven caissons will be re quired for each pier. These will be forced down to.) 20ft. below the bed of the river—into the London clay, in fact. When they can be got no lower they will be laid at the loottom with concrete, and built up inside till they are solid. It is not yet decided whether they are to be thus filled in with bricks or masonry, but it is to be hoped the latter. Four feet below low water the blocks of granite (all of great size) will be laid, and be continued up in the centre to where the iron arches rest; but on the external face of the pier,— that is, on each end that can be seen from the river, they will rise apparently to the level of the balustrade. OD the PRICE ...... ...4d. STAMPED ....sd. and of each pier, and rising from a bold rich pediment of carved white stone, will be a column of polished red granite. 7ft in diameter and 12ft in height. This will Le surmounted by a gigantic capital of carved white stone, and this again with what we may term a cornice deeply cut and rich in its design. Above all will be the massive ornamental parapet of white stone, partly pierced in bald yet simple designs, and this latter will form the balustrade" surrounding the wide recess above each pier. It is difficult to speak toe highly of the general effect of these piers as they will be seen from the river. There is a simplicity, a massiveness, and dignity in their whole proportions, and the effect of their colour contrasts will be so striking that no merely verbal description can do them justice. When the piers are an finished the pressure on the foun dation will be only four tons per fo•)t, or not much more than half the pressure on the foundations of large ware houses. The ironwork will, of course, all be tested before /< it goes up, awl before the bridge itself will be op ene d ; but it is almost not too much to say that the second testing in place will be a mere matter of form, for the sectional area of all the girders has been designed to be about seven times stronger than any strain than can ever come upon it in the reasonable course of London daily traffic. One most ornamental and novel feature in the new bridge deserves especial mention, both for its own,merit and for the praiseworthy liberality and good taste the corporation have displayed in granting this extra expense for purely decOrative purposes. At both sides' and at both ends the new bridge is to have a wide and noble flight of steps lead ing to the waterside. But, unlike other bridges, which ge nerally have their parapets tapering away into insignifi cance at their extremities, the balustrades at either end stop short and terminate in four bold massive pediments about 25ft high, somewhat similar to those which terminate the balustrades at London bridge, but far more lofty in size and noble in proportion. Once seen in design and it was impossible for any architect or engineer of taste to resist surmouriting them with groups of statuary, and this Mr. Cubitt boldly did, and included the price of the bronze groups in his estimate for the whole bridge. Though these are, after all, mere supplementary ornaments, without which no doubt, the bridge, as a bridge, would do quite as well, yet the corporation, to their great honour, did not take this narrow view of it, but, regarding the statues only as a splendid finish to their splendid work, almost unanimously granted the £16,000 required for the four groups. All these are to be equestrian statues in bronze, and 20ft high. Three of them are already decided on—her Majesty, with Queen Elizabeth, at one end, and King Alfred, and most probably Edward the Black Prince, as the first and most renowned of our Princes of Wales, at the other. The cost of the whole work, including the temporary bridge, is only £265,000, which is at the rate of £3 per foot super, only about is a foot dearer than Westminster bridge, which still enjoys the honour of being the cheapest and as yet the most beautiful that spansthe Thames. There is only one great drawback on Mr. Cubitt's bridge, but this, unfortunately, is a most serious destroyer of its beauty. It is that the equally fine bridge which is being built for the Chatham and Dover line is so close to the site of new Blackfriars that from no point of the river can a view be got of one structure without the other also appearing and spoiling it. The distance between the two is only 150 feet —a mere nothing in perspective. The spans of both are the same, but the railway is a level bridge and the city struc tare is arched, and situated as they are, apparently almost touching, one most effectually kills the other. In these days of metropolitan railways the Chatham and Dover bridge (which is a wonderful structure of its kind) must, we suppose, be regarded as a necessary evil. But, neces sary as it may be, it is cordially to be wished that it was anything but alongside the site of new Blackfriars. The latter will really be a noble structure, and will add still ' further to the character the Thames enjoys above all other rivers in the world for the grandeur and beauty of its bridges.

Sho relieved the St. George, 86, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton, which left on Wednesday for England to be paid off. As expected, the Trafalgar, 70, Capt. T. Mason, left on Monday from Corfu, and is to be back in about a fortnight, with invalids, prisoners, &c., when it is expected she will proceed to Gibraltar, there to await the arrival of the Royal Oak, ironclad, Capt. F. A. Campbell, and thence go home to be put out of commission. The Icarus, 11, Capt..N. Salmon, V.C., arrive' yesterday from the Pirmus and Kalamata, 16 days from the former and five from the latter. The English men-of-war at Athens were the Revenge (flagship), the Meeanee, the Gib raltar, the Foxhound, the Trident, and the Boxer. The Gibraltar was to leave Salamis Bay on the 26th, and enter the harbour of the Firms. The foreign ships were the Magicienne, the Mouette, and the Sentinelle (French) ; the Seehund (Austrian gunboat) ; a Russian frigate in Salamis Bay, and the Hellas, Greek frigate. The learns will shortly proceed home to be paid off. Capt. N. Salmon, V.C., of the Icarus, who has lately received his promotion from commander, will leave for England shortly, and Flag Lieutenant H. T. Boger has been appointed Acting Com mander in his place. Captain Stirling, of the Chanticleer, who also lately received his promotion, left Malta last week ;or England, via Marseilles, and his successor, Corn. J. E. Risk, is expected here from Southampton by the packet of the 4th of January. In the meantime the Chanticleer is under the command of her First Lieutenant, A. C. May. Captain Fortescue, of the Pbcebe, returned yesterday from Italy. There have been no other movements of her Ma jesty's ships since the departure of the mail on the 4th instant. Her Majesty's iron paddlewheel steamer Recruit, 6, 150 horse power (nominal), having completed the alterations to her engines and machinery, and made ready for sea, was yesterday taken out of Chatham harbour to the Nore, for the purpose of testing her rate of speed at the measured mile, Maplin Sands, before being finally handed over by the dockyard officials to the first-class steam reserve, in readi ness for commission. On the occasion of the Recruit being taken on her last trial trip she proved in every respect a complete failure. A maximum speed of only about four or five knots an hour was obtained, and the paddlewheel floats were at the same tame so deeply immersed in the water that it was considered useless to attempt to continue the trials. Indeed, from the way in which the vessel laboured during her trial a strong feeling of relief was felt by all on board on the steamer being safely brought up at anchor. Since the trial alluded to the Recruit has been very considerably lightened by the removal of some of her heavy stores, toge gether with two of her 32-pounder 56cwt guns. She has still, however, the whole of her six months' sea stores on board, with the exception of her provisions. With 90 tons of coals in her bunkers at starting yesterday, together with about 120 tons of machinery and boilers, 40 tuns of water, and about 30 tons of anchors, cables, &c., the Recruit drew Sit 4in aft and Sft 3in forward, and thus being on as nearly as possible an even keel she was not in the test trim to make her trial. Chatham harbour was loft shortly after 9 a.m., the officials on board being Capt. W, R. Hall, C. 8., com manding the steam reserve in the Medway, who superin tended the trials ; Mr. J. Biker, chief engineer at Chatham dockyard, and inspector of machinery afloat; Mr. Hutchens, assistant master shipwright; and Mr. Rumble, chief engi neer in charge of the steam reserve squadron. The Recruit was navigated to the trial ground by Mr, Blakey, second master and Queen's pilot, and the engines were in charge of Mr. J. 11. Brettal, principal engineer. Captain H. F• M'Killop was also on board during the trial, for the purpose of testing the new cofferdam or portable dock recently in vented by him, and submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty.

The report of the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies upon the loan demanded by the Govern ment has appeared. Having been drawn up before the declaration of Austria and Prussia at the latest sitting of the Federal Diet, it does not touch upon the most recent phase of the Schleswig-HolstPin question. The declarations male in the Committee by Herr von Biernark upon the position of the Government are of especial interest. They may b© summarised as follows 1, Up to the present time it has not been the inten. Lion of the Government to proceed upon any other basis than that of the Diet. This, however, by no means excluded the possibility of an independent advance if ;be proposition of Prussia should not be supported by a majority at the Diet. It was his duty, as Minister for Foreign Affairs, to place Prus sian interests in the first rank, not the interests of another dynasty or of any other nationality. It could not be admitted that the collective strength of Prussia and Austria—the Powers who protected the glass-house of the German State system from European attacks—should be disposed of by a majo rity which possibly did not represent two millions and a half of population. So long as the separation of territories in Germany held good, so long might German commercial interests and the like be spoken of, bat no German interests in politics. In that regard he could only recognise Austrian, Bavarian, &c., interests. " He considered the question of Prussia's entire withdrawal from the London Treaty rather a qnes- Lion of opportuneness than of right. Only those deductions from right had force which one possessed the power to carry out. It was a common error to imagine that the right of States was found by law yers, not made by treaties. It was an awkward thing to measure treaties by the mere standard of justice. The Committee should recollect the Treaties of Vienna, which contained much injustice, and yet had constituted the basis of the European State system for nearly 50 years. They should recollect Poland ; remember the curtailment of Saxony, whose King was punished merely because, being the only monarch in the power of Napoleon, he had been unable to join the Allies. " If the German deductions of right in the Schles wig-Holstein matter were declared to be perfectly clear and transparent, as had been remarked in the Committee, and opposing opinions were stigmatised as 'threadbare sophistry' and hole-and-corner arguments,' he would only observe, in place of all criticism, that hole-and-oorner-argaments,' when supported by a majority of European bayonets, usually gained the day. In the question of oppor tuneness our relations to the Duchy of Schleswig played an important part ; for as soon as we with drew from the London Treaty, the cognate treaties of 1851-52, and therewith all claims to interference, fell to the ground. From the moment of withdrawal from the London Treaty, therefore, the Duchies were shown different roads, and then the question immediately started into importance whether the Confederation had a right to conquer a non German country—Schleswig—from a German Prince. Such a right of the Confederation could never be de duced from Federal treaties, which were merely for mutual assistance. Were such a capability ac cepted, it would follow that the Confederation should have restored Neufchatel to the King of Prussia and have reconquered for Austria her birthright in Italy. In case of a withdrawal from the London protocol, Denmark could at once iacorporate Schleswig. The let of January of this year, to which period he had formally referred as decisive had certainly imparted a new shape to the proceedings of the great German Powers; let the Committee only think of the tie. parture of the Austrian and Prussian Ambassadors of the collecti ve mo ti on from Copenhagen , and brought in with rtfereuce to that date upon Dee. 28, which held out the prospect of eventual occupa tion of Schleswig. The Diet had come to no resolu tion as to ejection' of the hereditary Prince of Augustenburg. The motion of the presidin Power (to request the Prince to leave the country) had been met by seven affirtnativcs, five nogativee, and four votes desiring to convey the rcqueet in the form of a wish ; and the motion had, thereupon, been re ferred to the Committee. The Prussian represen tative had voted in the affirmative without instruc tions, but in perfect conformity with the wishes of his Government, because the presence of the Prince obstructed the action of the Federal Commissioners, and was injurious to the authority of the Diet." member of the Committee asked how these ex pressions were to be reooiciied with the passCge of the Royal reply, which stated, " The succegO" / 1 / 3 . •• question will be- examined by the Di at, under my I 1 AL co.operation." The Minister. President replied :-- "His Majesty spoke of an examination, net of a decision. The position of Prussia es %t great Power required that she sham d indepQndeatly examine every resolution cf the DL 3t, but not submit herself to every decision—a view which, , ander other cir cumstances, would be apprcved by the majority of the Committee." Referring to the words irumptHately following the above passage in the Royal speech," and I cans not anticipate the results of that examination," the Minister continued : " The competence of the Diet to de tide the suc cession question was by no meant; admet : t e d. If the Confederation was a union of soNTreign States, the full sovereignty of each State cou';inued in all things, where not expressly- limited by .he Federal treaties. Federal treaties eoe e z i ree i n o etitrilations from which this competence was to be deduced. Ueqees tionably the Federal Dot was cat,i . !ieci to deride, after examining the legitimati on o t a reptesentativee whether it would admit Mtn or ro.f ; but from. t tett point to sovereign. decision of .the right of euceeseime in 4 Federal country was a wide leap. Let any one mention a precedent in which the D:et had decided upon the rights of claimants of a succession, and in which it had undertaken to remora one and instal another. Nobody could wish to controvert tt,e competence of the Diet to examiner the right of succession in a disputed case ; but it wcnl4 have to conduct that examination with the atmtes'e caution, that its results mightbe tenable before the European foram. Lastly, he could assu r e them, as up .en a for mer occasion, that mistrust between himself and the Chamber of Deputies should not be mutual. It Was his wish to enter into the matter with tie , 1131a118 legally granted by the house. It these stiould be refused, he should take them wherever he could." Thereupon the report of the Committee observes that expressions of this character require no com ment, but that it was their duty to state the in fluence which these declarations ought to exercise upon the vote of the house. According to the views of the Government, the house would run the danger " that the supplies granted to.dsy for the fulfilment of Federal duties would be tomorrow applied by the Government to obstruct the resolutions of the Diet." The declarations of the Minister-President cast aside Garman nationality and common inte rests equally with regard to right. He considers the binding force of a treaty not to depend upon its contents or upon the good faith of its contractors, but upon the question how many bayonets will be set in motion for it. From this point of view it would be just as consistent for the Ministry to dis regard even the justest resolution of the Diet on account of the military weakness of its originators, • as when it patiently accepts illegal measures of the great Powers on account of the superiority of their armies. The report goes on to refute the arguments of Herr von Bismark seriatim, commenting severely upon each, and recommends, by the unanimous vote of the Committee, the refusal of the loan. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, & LINCOLNSHIRE. The report of the directors of this company states that the total revenue of the past half-year from all sources amounted to £364,429, the total expenditure to £179,495, and the balance of net profit to £184,934, which, with the balance of £6,474 from the previous half-year, gives a total sum of £191,408 available for interest and dividend. The debenture and other interest chargeable against the revenue of the half-year amounts to £61,118, the canal annuities to £14,143, and the dividends on the various classes of prefer ence stock and shares to £81,263, making a total charge of £156,525, leaving a balance of £34,884, out of which the directors recommend that a dividend be paid at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum on the ordinary steel of the cona- - Ftny, leaving a balance of £5,483 for the next account. The traffic receipts, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, show an increase of £27,877. Ihe total local traffic amounts to £1613,311; and the foreign traffic to £150,509, making £316,820. The dues, wharfage, &c., of the Grimsby docks for the past half-year amount to £5,451, against 11,1'23 for the cor responding half of l3h'2, showing an increase of £1,331. Tho quantity of coal shipped in the halt-year was t 7,929 h;ns, against 65,764 tons for the same half of IA2, showing an increas?, of 19,145 tons. The company's share of the net profits of the South Junction Railway amounts to .C , i,957, as against £8,147, showing an increase of XSIO over the corresponding period of last year. The revenue of the canals shows an increase of £1,532 as compared with the eerie spouding period of last year. The effect of the consolidation of the working of the canals with that of the railway has been satisfactory. Although the receipts of the canals In; Va been increased by £1,832, the working expenses, which in clude £1,122 in reduction of the suspense accounts, have been diminishes' by £2,897, showing an increase of net pro fit of £1,729. The directors regret that the Garston and Liverpool Railway is not 3et completed, as they had anti cipated. The expenditure on capital account during the last half. year amounts to £2.35,G50, of which £151,470 is for subscriptions to other companies, £48,560 for works and stations, and i 30,018 for new rolling stock. The capital account shows that £10,311,788 had been received, and £10,151,451 expended, leaving a balance of £190,331. The Murder of a Wife by her Husband near Leominster. The facts relating to this shocking murder have already been briefly stated. More full details have since come to light. On Monday evening a working man named Lippett, proceeding along the road in the parish of Hennor, near Leominster, hearing a low moan on a path leading across a field, at once went to the spot, and had only gone a few yards along the path, when he was alarmed at a ghastly spectacle—a woman lying on one side of the path in a pool. of blood. Her body was also besmeared with it, and every thing indicated that she had been foully murdered. Appalled. at the sight, he at once rushed to the mansion of Captain Stevenson, which is close by, and Old what he had seen. He then ran to Hamnish, and acquainted Mr. Vale, the parish constable, with what he had seen. A cart and horse were procured at once, and Vale accompanied Lippett to the spot where the woman was lying. Oa examination they found several frightful gashes on the top of the head, one of them so deep that the brain protruded. There was another terrible wound of a similar description at the back of the head. There were other bruises, and the skull seemed beaten. to pieces. The head and face were covered with matted blood and brains. An apron was at once tied round her head, and she was conveyed to the workhouse at Leominster. The surgeon of the workhouse was in immediate attendance, and everything possible done to relieve her, but she died at 11 o'clock on the following evening. The nurse said she heard her say " 0 dear 1" once. During the day the unfortu nate victim of this outrage, Mary Watkins, who was a strong robust woman about 30 years of age, and the mother of three children (one illegitimate), had been out washing for a per-. son in Hennor, and had left for her home about 6 p.m., an d . nothing more was seen of her till she was , discovered by Lip pett. Circumstances which have transpired leave but little doubt that the perpetrator of this cruel murder is the de ceased's husband. Not long after marriage he is said to have discovered her with another man, when a fierce quarrel en- , sued. This and other immoralities led to his leaving her in the Royal M ar i nes. I n July last ho deserted returned to to Hennor, but appears to have wan d ere d and enlisting rt about, sleeping in barns, &c., afraid to go to his wife, lest she should inform against him. He has been heard on seve ral occasions to threaten her with violence. When last seen he was noticed to have clogs on with iron plates at the bot tom, and on the path where the murder occurred there were marks of a person wearing clogs walking up and down seve ral times. He is a smart man, about 2S years of age, but bears a very indifferent character. Ho has decamped, and the clogs have been traced a long dietance, but has not yet been captured.
